This is the first Challenenge I have ever created, but I needed something that wasn't focused on me getting on the scale, that had a reasonable deadline and that seemed reachable. In 4 months I hope to walk 100 miles. I picked 120 days to build in some flexibilty.
This is really motivating me. I went to lunch (I was good - I went to Subway and had a Turkey sandwich, with Baked Lays and a coke (as my treat). I am on WW and I am well within my points for the day. After I got back, I went for a quick walk - 1.2 miles. I'm on my way.
Thanks for joing the thread Congratulations on the 2 miles.

Im in i walk daily to work home again and walk my dog also every night so im in i did 3.5 miles yesterday Thanks for the walking challenge, this is something i can do
Ok, I got distracted by outside life and I am back to doing my walk away the pounds DVDs. So yesterday was 1 mi and today I did 1 mi before coming to work.
So 2 mi so far. I will update my ticker once a week. Hope everyone else is doing ok.
I would love to join this challenge as well, I have just recently(last week) re-joined TOPS and have 40 pounds to lose. yesterday I bought a pedometer and "blast away the pounds" walking dvd. My husband and I walk our puppy at a pretty brisk walk about 2.5-3 miles , several times a week, but I was wondering something.I know that walking intentionally(that sounded stupid) and walking around the house, work etc are at 2 different paces....I hvae vowed to wear this pedometer all the time...do you think that counts towards my miles or should I only count my outside WALKING or dvd miles? Just wondered. Thanks and good luck gals!
by the way...last night we did our annual hometown FAIR trip augh!!!!! I had my hot sausage and french fries but I did walk almost 2.5 miles while we were there! I need to get my ticker started! Thanks again for the challenge!
I think if you walk it ,it counts, but it might be better to set a minimum goal for the day (or week) of a certain number of steps. Where the pedometer for a day or 2 and see how many steps you are taking regularly and then set a goal. Also there may be some place on the web that says how many steps equal a mile.
